Ryan Lochte went
to Rio for the Olympics, he won a gold medal in men's 800-meter freestyle
relay, and then he and his friends decided to go enjoy themselves. In the
course of it all, they commit a mea culpa. This snafu is exaggerated by Lochte
and his comrades and the Rio Police. Finally, he comes back to his senses and
apologized for the exaggeration. Unfortunately, all his sponsors cut off fromhim and the people cried for his blood.

This is all contrary
to the bible that encourages sinners and mere mortals to forgive 490 times a
day. I don’t know where human beings get the righteousness to always pretend
that they are holding others accountable, even for mere peccadilloes. They
always have this pretext of rancor and spite that they want to teach him a lesson. Life is too hard enough , so we should encourage one another unto good works and not seek an opportunity to destroy them. Some people seem to enjoy en unbridled schadenfreude unparalleled with even those of Lamech.

The reason I
called it a mea culpa is because him and his cohorts all accepted that it was a
fault they brought upon themselves. I also called it a snafu because it was not
a problem, until Lochte's mother made a round on the press to sully the
Brazilian government. If they initially did not find any problem with it aster
he paid them, then it should not be a cause for alarm after. It did become a
cause for alarm because all of them" the gas station, Lochte and his group
and the Brazilian government wanted to protected their dignity.

In Honig v Doe
(1988), the Supreme Court ruled that, a student should not be expelled or
disciplined for an infraction that was caused by his or her disability. Lohcte
at the time of the vandalism was drunk, so he did not know what he was doing.
That is why the gas station was satisfied with the restitution. Whatever he
did, it was caused by his drunken stupor. In his whole life, he was never
broken a toilet door, talk less of a normal door because that is not him.

Breaking a toilet
door and paying for it is and should have been good enough because any other
punishment is a violation of his 8th Amendment which states, “Excessive bail
shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual
punishments inflicted." Therefore, any other punishment should
have overlooked by the mere fact that he was drunk and he made restitution.

You do not teach
a man a lesson by shooting him on the head; you shoot him on his toes. His
sponsors are not teaching him any lesson; they should stick with him, but they
should reduce the money until he has shown full compunction. Who will still be
alive If God physically killed everyone who sinned? Who will still be married
today, if spouses divorced each time a spouse did something they did not like?
Humans keep making themselves too righteous than even God.

People should stop pretending that they are so angry
because these athletes are role models. If you as a parent, brother, sister or
relative cannot serve as a role model to your family, you should not transfer
your responsibility to these sports, movies and music stars. It is transferred
irresponsibility.

Jesus said,
“…Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11). We are talking
here of a woman who was caught red handed in flagrant adultery, yet Jesus tells
her he does not condemn her. When are we as humans going to start saying, “Go
and sin no more?”

One time
again Jesus found a disabled man at the pool of Bethesda who could not seize
the opportunity to jump into the pool for his miraculous healings from the
water stirring of the angel. Jesus healed him. Later, he found the man at the
temple and he told him, “Behold, thou art
made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.” John 5:14. The
man’s condition was caused by the sin, yet Jesus reminded him, “I forgive you,
go and sin no more. What about people telling Ryan Lochte, “You have made your
mistake, learn from it and do not repeat it again.

Instead like
blood suckers, they cry “punish him,” “take away his medals,” “ban him for
life,” “lock him up” and so on and so forth. I am talking here of a young man
who could not recollect a version of his incidence because he was drunk. The
Rio people exaggerated the story themselves.

Finally, on that
line I will reiterate the position of the Bible. Since no one was hurt, the
damaged property was paid for, Ryan Lochte suffered more by losing his endorsements,
and he had apologized and accepted he embellished his account, and God will
accept his repentance. On that bases, man who is unclean and unable to apply
justice should have followed suite. The saddest thing is that those who act like
Shylock, seeking to extract a pound of flesh cannot even do it without spoiling
blood. They cannot come to equity because not only their hands, their legs, mouths,
bodies and entire lives are dirty. You should stop trying to apply justice only
when others are concerned. You are not better!

Until then,
shame to those companies that withdrew their sponsorships.

Hope you are well. Please, you are good at researching
on controversial topics like nakedness in public. So, could you tell us what
you think? These radical liberals are making a big deal out of Melania Trump
appearing naked in public as a model. I have tried to put some water into their
empty skulls and they are still bent on arguing. May be you should have the
final word. First of all she is no longer modeling .

Thanks"

JonathanDear Rev.
Awasom, thanks for the question and sorry for the late reply. I had some unforeseen
imperatives. Nonetheless, it is better late than never. We will first define nudity
before we can ascertain whether she was naked or not. The main question is
whose law or whose values are we going to use, since nudity does not mean the
same thing to every culture? In the Bodi tribe, Ethiopia, walking naked is normalcy.
In the West, walking naked is illegal only when you are in public. If walking
naked is a sin, then it would be a sin, whether in private or in public. In Holland
and Germany, public nudity is tolerated. Still in the West, they have nudists
camps. That is what makes the morality or immorality of nudity complex. Which
means that, humanity is unable to make any determination, since no culture is
perfect. When the relativism of human morality fails to generate a common
consensus as absolute, we are obliged to look without the human race for an
absolute. That is when God comes in.

The only person
with a perfect law is God. Therefore, we will be discussing nudity per the laws
of God and whether according to biblical considerations, Melania Trump was
naked by modeling. Through biblical exploration, the conclusion is clear that
nudity is when an individual exposes their penis or vagina and not even their buttocks
or their breasts. After Adam and Eve had sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, the
Bible says, “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that theywerenaked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” Genesis 3:7.
They made themselves apron. If nakedness had included the breasts and the
entire body, then when Adam and Eve made themselves aprons with fig leaves to
cover themselves, God would had made them clothes that covered their entire
body. Instead, he too made them skirts from animal skin to cover them as we
read from the Bible, “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make
coats of skins, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21. What is clearer in this
passage is that sin has made nakedness a shameful thing. In other words,
without sin, nakedness had no shame since that is the way mankind was made.
Mankind wasn’t made with clothes; otherwise, God would have made man with
clothes from the onset. The question is
what is nakedness? Let us say that this passage does not clearly state if the
coats of skin that God made covered their entire body or not, we can make a
horizontal interpretation by looking at other passages.

God had replaced
the leaves with animal skin. The aprons mentioned is Genesis 3:7 is translated as
chăgôrâh, a Hebrew term for the English expression
“belt for the waist.” No time in history was the belt worn all over the body. Those
leaves were meant to cover only their genitals, which is why some have misinterpreted
that the sin was sexual in nature. We would need to look into the bible to see
when the word apron has been used to state clearly if an apron could be worn
above the waist or below the waist. One other occasion where the Bible uses the
word apron is in Acts 19:12. Therein it is used as “narrow covering.” A narrow
covering cannot cover the entire body. The conclusion would be that when Adam
and Eve sinned, God only covered their genitals. As such, the breasts of Melani
would not be faulted as nudity. However, that is merely descriptive. We will
need something more prescriptive to enforce as law or doctrine.

In Genesis 20:26,
God tells Moses, “Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not discovered thereon.”Why
would God tell Moses not to build an altar with a second floor or to put the
altar where they have to ascend into it by climbing stairs? In the course of
climbing stairs, one leaves themselves exposed, and it would be easier to see
your genitals. The priests wore garments or robes without underwear. That is why it would have been easier to see
their nakedness, if they were climbing the stairs. By God telling them not to expose
their nakedness, he was telling Israel not to show their nakedness to anyone.
He makes it more explicit that nakedness is only shameful when you show it to
people who have no business seeing it.

Therefore,
Melania Trump would be nude if she took pictures exposing her vagina and not
only her breasts. If there are not such pictures and videos, not even Bible condemns
her. If Melania Trump was walking naked in her garden or with her husband, and
someone sneaked around, took some pictures, the sin is that of the thief to
bare and not Melania’s because we do not punish victims of theft or crime. If
Melania was making a photo-shoot whereby the photographer and others of the
team saw her naked, the burden of the sin is placed on the job, just as the
soldier who kills at war does not bear the sin of murder for killing at war.

Until then, I
hope I have shone some light.
